2-day walking tour of Pointe des Mattes - Stage 1

This sporty first stage takes you to the Trebentaz refuge at 1900 m altitude, in the heart of a Natura 2000 site.

Starting from the La Panthiaz parking lot, you will first walk along the Dranse before beginning your ascent. At the summit of the Pointe des Mattes, you can enjoy views of the mountains and villages of the Abondance valley and the Swiss Alps. This first stage ends with a descent to the Trébentaz hut, a favorite stopover for GR5 itinerants.
